Why does someone who once was with the TMO have to labeled as pathological when they leave it? In my encounters with Chopra I found him to be a very decent guy, far from the egomaniac that some people try to smear him with. The only person that knows why he left the TMO is Chopra and he appears to be decent enough to not bad mouth the TMO or MMY (that's left to us here on FFL!). People can leave the TMO and MMY, even stop meditating for perfectly normal, healthy, non-pathological reasons. -Peter > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
